GPHA2 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

GPHA2 acts as a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone together with GPHB5 to form a complex that binds and activates the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), thereby triggering elevated cAMP production. This protein complex plays a key role in the regulation of thyroid cell metabolism, controlling the basic metabolic processes of thyroid cells. GPHA2 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived GPHA2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-mFc labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

GPHA2 acts as a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone together with GPHB5 to form a complex that binds and activates the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), thereby triggering elevated cAMP production. This protein complex plays a key role in the regulation of thyroid cell metabolism, controlling the basic metabolic processes of thyroid cells. GPHA2 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived GPHA2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-mFc labeled tag.

Background

GPHA2 (Glycoprotein Hormone Alpha 2) functions as a crucial heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone alongside GPHB5, with the ability to bind and activate the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), ultimately resulting in elevated cAMP production. This glycoprotein hormone complex plays a central role in the regulation of thyroid cell metabolism, indicating its significance in the control of thyroid function and hormonal balance. The functional partnership between GPHA2 and GPHB5 is highlighted by their formation of a heterodimer, and this complex specifically interacts with TSHR, thereby initiating the cascade leading to increased cAMP levels.
